No one had ordered this 24-year-old Marine to take over the wounded office platoon which was to storm t'ridge; he simply stepped in the breach, took command and charged the ridge "where every 10 yards cost a life." When a mortar-burst hit, Lieutenant Toland laid down his life on the altar of freedom. But this New Hampshire lad left something behind that transcends even his supreme sacrifice. He had scribbled a will. The text of that will already has been read into the Congressional Record by New Hampshire's congressman, Sherman Andrews. National magazines and metropolitan daily newspapers have paid a glowing tribute to a real American, who on the eve of death, left a legacy to his country. CIO and AFL; 20 per cent to the National Association of Manufacturers. Ben Toland was concerned about our national government. He feared it might become the master, instead of the servant, of the people. To congress, he left 20 per cent for research toward a "far-sighted foreign policy," and better government for "all the people in the country, instead of merely the organized pressure groups." Ben Toland was interested in education. To St. Paul's school of Concord, N. H., where he had captained the hockey team and distinguished himself as a scholar, he benqueathed 20 per cent. To Yale university, where he was graduated summa cum laude, just in time for the war, this Phi Beta Kappa left 10 per cent. Ben Toland's bequeathal of the remaining 10 per cent revealed his deep interest in charitable and IN THE DAWN APRIL 1, 1871 On the 22nd, Mr. Peter sold to Mr. Timothy Cahill tract of five acres in Ames Extension, west of the city $500. This land was sold years ago for 11 dollars and about a year ago Mr. purchased it for thirty-three lars per acre and with a growth of Anaheim it has sold for $100 per acre. The chaser, Mr. Carroll, a young man, came to Anaheim ago with a capital of $7, that time he has purchased acres adjoining the five acres purchased from Mr. Griffin may be said to have made a year on a capital of $7 per to the value of $500. That for high? Carroll is a working man and therein I secret of success. On Thursday week, as L.K. Williams was at the L.fishing he was stung by a garee. He picked up whistle peared to be a small flock when he received a fierce from the tail of the reptile, fore finger. In a few minutes suffered great pain and boredious. His friends took to a house and gave him pints of whisky which with stant attention brought through safely in about 15 and he has now entirely ered.

But this New Hampshire lad left something behind that transcends even his supreme sacrifice. He had scribbled a will. The text of that will already has been read into the Congressional Record by New Hampshire's congressman, Sherman Andrews. National magazines and metropolitan daily newspapers have paid a glowing tribute to a real American, who on the eve of death, left a legacy to his country that never should be forgotten. Leutenant Toland had a keen understanding of the American way. His last will and testament was a solemn covenant to the American people back home to cherish and nurture that for which he and his buddies were fighting in the Pacific—for which 5000 Marines died on tiny Iwo Jima. Ben Toland saw labor strife as one of the gravest menaces to the welfare of postwar America. He willed nearly half of his modest estate—40 per cent (about $1500)—for the settlement of problems between labor and management. Ten percent goes to each of the Ben Toland was interested in education. To St. Paul's school of Concord, N.H., where he had captained the hockey team and distinguished himself as a scholar, he benqueathed 20 per cent. To Yale university, where he was graduated summa cum laude, just in time for the war, this Phi Beta Kappa left 10 per cent. Ben Toland's bequeathal of the remaining 10 per cent revealed his deep interest in charitable and spiritual affairs. Five per cent was willed to the New York Times Christmas charity fund, known as the "One Hundred Neediest Cases," and 5 per cent to the Protestant Episcopal church "to bring the Kingdom of God nearer to earth and the earth nearer to the Kingdom of God." And having thus arranged the disposal of all his earthly goods for a better America, Lieutenant Toland proceeded to give his one remaining and most cherished possession—his life. A modern battleship requires 62 million pounds of steel, or enough to manufacture about 30,-000 trucks or automobiles. HOME, AMONG THE ORANGES . . .

Southern California Telephone Company 217 North Lemon Telephone 2101 IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago APRIL 1, 1871 On the 22nd, Mr. Peter Griffin told to Mr. Timothy Carroll a fact of five acres in Anaheim extension, west of the city, for 100. This land was sold two years ago for 11 dollars an acre, about a year ago Mr. Griffin purchased it for thirty-three dollars per acre and with a year's growth of Anaheim it has been used for $100 per acre. The purchaser, Mr. Carroll, a young Irishman, came to Anaheim a year ago with a capital of $7. Since at time he has purchased forty acres adjoining the five acres later purchased from Mr. Griffin and may be said to have made in one ear on a capital of $7 property the value of $5000. How is it set for high? Carroll is a hard working man and therein lies his secret of success. On Thursday week, as Mr. D. Williams was at the Landing near him he was stung by a stinkee. He picked up what appeared to be a small flounder, then he received a fierce sting from the tail of the reptile, in his finger. In a few minutes he offered great pain and became serious.
